LTYD Memorial Scholarship
About the Larry Thomas Youth Development Memorial Scholarship
Larry "Coach" Thomas was a former Marine, graduate of Tempe High and worked at Mountain Pointe High School as the Dropout Prevention Coordinator and Head Track Coach. Larry also co-founded the Arizona Saints in Laveen and held numerous coaching positions throughout the valley. Those that knew Larry immediately believed in his word and promise to help those, especially youth become the best they can be. Larry knew, where there was a will, he would help find a way. This scholarship was developed by family, friends and general community to help youth achieve their goal of higher learning. Thank you "LT" for your dedication, support and lifelong impacts we will cherish forever.
